Bai Zhi Slices (Angelica dahurica) — Sulfur-Free Dried Food Herb, Spice & Sachet Ingredient

Bai Zhi Slices (Angelica dahurica) are the dried root slices of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bái Zhǐ (白芷). For centuries, Bai Zhi has been prized as a wind-dispelling, dampness-drying, and orifice-opening herb, traditionally used to relieve nasal congestion, frontal headaches, and heaviness of the head. Its nature is warm, pungent, and gently dispersing, making it a classic herb for opening the nose, easing the head, and supporting clear, smooth flow of qi. This batch is sourced directly from Henan and dried without sulfur fumigation.
